Rediscoveries II

“Among every reader’s favorite books are little-known novels or volumes of stories that someone urged him or her to read. And every reader has urged others to reach for such books. Rediscoveries II is a gathering of essays by novelists whom we asked to rediscover their favorite neglected work of fiction. The title refers to the essayists and to some readers; for most readers, this book offers discoveries. Our purpose is to call attention and pay tribute to those works. Pure enjoyment is at the heart of this venture: both writers and readers enjoy discovering and rediscovering fiction that has suffered some kind of neglect.”–from the introduction to Rediscoveries II
